Big Deal

In about 12 hours I will make the biggest presentation of my life. In 40 minutes I need to prove to three professors I know something about being a master level social worker.  I need them to know that I have learned something in the past two years and two months.  I need them to know I am capable.  I need this to get a piece of paper to get another piece of paper which will move my life forward.  At least my career forward.  I know what I want to do and I need to have the licensing and the degree to do it. 

Add to this stress two more major stresses. 

This week is super busy.  I work six days.  I am leaving town Saturday for Wyoming.  Not a fun trip but it will give me time to catch up on homework.  Jake has an appointment with a neurologist.  We will need to pay for it all out of pocket.  After the doctor we are going to the water park for the day. Friday I have class and I will need to pack.

Andrew turned eight yesterday and I am so thankful for him. He is become such a deep thinker and asks these amazing questions that I don't always have the answers to. The meds have helped slow him down but he is still crazy Andrew. We upped the medications and it was like he was on speed. He couldn't sleep and was kind of zombie like. Then there has been a few moments wher

The one you feed...

A few weeks ago Lee text me this story.  One evening, an elderly cherokee brave told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. he said "my son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. one is evil. it is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. the other is good. it is joy, peace love, hope serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." the grandson though about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "which wolf wins?..." the old cherokee simply replied, "the one that you feed"  One I have heard 100 times but one that I needed at that moment although I didn't know it.  There have been several situations that have happened these past few weeks and I keep thinking of that story and I have to remind myself which wolf I am feeding.
